, Be it known that LHnNnY Mrr'rnNDonF', of the city nnd'oount)r4 ofYork,` in theStete 'of *Pennsylvanie hereinvented nnew and usefulimprovementin Dramingenti Preserving Malt LiquorsgberulV I doherebydcclarc the following to be e full and! correct description of theseme, sufficient toennble others skillcdlin' the nrt te vwhich rnyinvention 4epperteine tb understand and use lthe saxnegfreference beinghad to the Ancceznpenying drewing, which makes part of thisspecification, and which represents a. side elevation of my invention,La modiicn'j' tion being shown in ned lines. l l i l The nature of my.,inrention consists in the use of an :xiii-reservoir, to which annir-Punip isjeonneeteinnll which is so connected to the-barrelcontaining the maltliquor that n pressure is ,eicerted upon lthe liquidlwhich will force it from the borrel when the-faucet isopened, and ntthesmne time prevent' tlxegnses t'romv escaping through th'e'bung-hole'end thus render the melt liquor flat and stele. i

A, in the drawings, represents e berrel, te contain beer, ele, or` anyother malt liquor-,or cider. B is :in air-reservoir; constructed of anysui'teblemeterinl, providod'et'its top iivith n pipe, b, which Lonneetsit" to the barrel A. The part :L of this pipe b may be `mede of Indierubber, so :is` to nllirthe borrel to he movcil'liy tipping it; end thevrigidr part of the pipe is provided with n' stop-oook, c,wl1ichfennblesthe Vcominnninticm between the borrel and airreservoir B to libe shutel?. C eliresents an air-pump,' a.tteched toftliotofiofljthe reservoir;endco'nneeted tothe saine b'y'm'emrs of epipef d, wrliiehlis providedwith o. stop-oook,

Itis weli known that Whenibeer, ale,'cider, Enc., is tapped from thebarrel' by the glnssful, and the' ons. tomery hole bored in the barrel,oir the bung ioosened to allow the air to enter, s'o thnt'theliquor-:moy @be dren-n o, thev gases which give the lifeiende'erveseence to the come escape, and, unless the harrel'is emptiedveysoon, a. greet inertionof the iifluor becomes flatand stale, so thettheliquor drawn et? first is grentlxsuperior to that drawn oi' last. Toprevent this, und to licepthe liquor in equa-l strength 'und taste, isthe' 'pnrpes'elfo?V iny invention. The oir-reservoirA must'be placedbehind or above the borrel, in en adjoining room, or in` the cellar,

.es shown in red lines. The stop-cock e is closed, and the reservoirBlledlvith ir b v means of the nir-pump C, the step-cock e being opened.When suicient air has been pumpen into the reservoir the stop-cock e isclosed, and the communication between the air-pump and reservoir shut o.0when th'e barrel has been pinned in position and the bung knocked ont,the metal plngjet the Aend of the pipe a is driven inte the bung hole,which-is thereby closed `nir-tight. The stop-cock c is now opened, andthe pressure of the nir allowed to net onl the liquor es itis drawn et?.But little pressure is required, and if it is Vfound that inore isneeded, n few strokes'oi' the air-pump after the stop-cock e is openedwili supply the deficiency, and thus the gas which `given the lifeiaindeffervescence to theliquor is retnined in the same; and still air forcedinto the barrel to allow the liquor to be drawn ed'.

Haring thus described my invention, what I Gleim as new, und dcsire'tosecurebyhettersPatent, is-` 1. The herein-deseribed mode of drawing andpreservingmnvlt liquors, cider, belfby mennsofnn, nirl reservoir,substnntinlly es set forth. i .1
